My car puts a smile on my face on a daily basis. That to me is the biggest
Investment i've ever made.
From a financial point of view it takes you to work every day so u can
Bring money home every month. So there are many reasons why it is an
Investment.

I don't want to

so this is my LAST post about it. We need to start calling things properly. An "Investment" by definition, is related to money.

Investment: The action or process of investing money for profit or material result.

Or another one

Investment: the investing of money or capital in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value.

So again, it is an AMAZING Toy, I love it!! But it is very far away from an "investment". In a LONG time, someone who babies it to nauseum can call it an investment because in 40 years (as a classic first year model) it "might" be worth more than now. Until then no, it is not an investment

Right on. A car is not an investment due to depreciation the moment it leaves the dealership with it's new owner. One can not build equity in a car like a house.

it's not the work denied, it's the manufacturer questioning why did this break? we want the factory item returned...oh wait, the factory item is in perfect condition because the car had an aftermarket piece on it.

there's the issue. it's because there's no proof.

To provide some sort of f5 relief to the masses, Japan won't be awake for about 8 more hours.
